Since starting work at the cafe, I have come to know some of the customers...................those that are known as the "regulars" that always order the same thing.........at the same time of day. Some of these folks I have gotten to know through them purchasing my embroidery.

One such customer purchased this set of pillowcases that I designed. I actually never have met her face to face..............my boss has shown my work, while I am in the back...........cooking away............and then comes to tell me what certain people want............and then brings the $$ to me. However, I got to meet the sweet lady who purchased these the other day. My boss called me away from my grill, to come out.................because this lady had brought me and enormous stack of wonderful, vintage embroidery transfers!

So many wonderful designs!

Transfers that she has had and used for years. She no longer does embroidery, and told me that she loved the pillowcases I embroidered for her so much, that she wanted to give these to someone who would use them. I was humbled and grateful and assured her that I would indeed use them in my future linens.So check back here now and then............I will have some of these beauties stitched!
